Professor Mcginnis is one professor I will always love and remember. He is the biggest science geek ever (in an adorable way) and he has a true love of knowledge, teaching, science, and people. I've never met anyone that was so chilled out and approachable. He respects each one of his students, and he's the sort of guy who would never judge someone...about ANYTHING. And he's so knowledgeable and interested in science. I've always hated science until his class. After his class, I began to see our world in a different light. He put the fun into science. You could never be wrong in his class. Everything is based off of trial and error. It's all about the learning. He's PERFECT for teaching future teachers how to teach science. Absolutely perfect.
